Baby wrens feast on female spider

Mama Wren is about to feed her baby wrens a female spider, along with the spider’s egg sac, which is visible in the photo upper left. The baby wrens, pictured on days 31 and 33 since the eggs first appeared May 23, are growing rapidly and barely fit in the nest. Their time for leaving the nest is imminent, according to Jim Conforti of Sound Beach, N.Y., who has been following their progress.
